Hornady ELD-VT .243 80gr Precision Hunting Bullets - 100 Count$44.70
Availability: In Stock
The Hornady ELD-VT .308 174gr rifle bullets deliver match-grade accuracy with varmint-hunting terminal performance in a single precision projectile. Designed for shooters who demand both flat trajectories and reliable expansion, these 174-grain bullets combine low-drag aerodynamics with the velocity advantage of lighter varmint designs—a rare pairing that eliminates the usual tradeoffs between long-range ballistics and on-target fragmentation.
ELD-VT stands for "Extremely Low Drag – Varmint Tactical," and the dual mission shows in every detail. The Heat Shield polymer tip resists aerodynamic heating at distance, preserving the bullet's profile and drag characteristics from muzzle to impact. Meanwhile, the boat-tail design and streamlined profile keep energy downrange, supporting both extended-range accuracy and the velocity needed for rapid, reliable expansion on varmints and predators.
These bullets are built using Hornady's Advanced Manufacturing Process (AMP) for jacket consistency and concentricity—meaning tighter groups and shot-to-shot repeatability that reloaders expect from premium components. The 174-grain weight in .308 diameter works across standard .308 Winchester and 7.62×51 NATO platforms, making them versatile for everything from predator control to long-range competition and hunting.
Each box contains 100 bullets, giving you enough to develop and test loads without breaking the bank. If you're building precision rifle ammo and want a bullet that shoots like a match round but performs like a hunting load, the ELD-VT earns its reputation among serious reloaders and shooters.
| Caliber | .308 (0.308") |

| Manufacturer | Hornady |
The Hornady ELD-VT .308 174gr bullets fit any rifle chambered in .308 Winchester or 7.62×51 NATO and related cartridges. They're commonly reloaded for .308 Winchester hunting and match rifles, but always verify bullet diameter and seating depth compatibility with your specific firearm and reloading data.
Yes. The ELD-VT design combines low-drag match-bullet aerodynamics with rapid expansion, making them effective for both long-range hunting applications and precision rifle competitions where you need flat trajectories and consistent performance downrange.
The Heat Shield is a polymer tip engineered to resist the aerodynamic heating that occurs at high velocity and altitude. By maintaining the bullet's shape throughout flight, it preserves the low-drag profile, supporting consistent ballistics and accuracy from near to far distances.
Each box contains 100 Hornady ELD-VT .308 174gr bullets, providing enough volume for load development, testing, and field use.
